Purpose

 

The purpose of this work package is to manage the effort involved in data conversion from legacy data using automated or manual processes.  This includes the use of SAP delivered mechanisms, custom developments, or manual entry of data.

 

How should it be produced

 

A legacy data conversion strategy must include the different methods of conversion (manual, programmatic).  Identify the criteria that will be utilized to determine which method will be used.

 

Define and document procedural methodology to manually convert legacy data into the new database.

 

What if it is not done

 

The topic of data clean up and data validation in the new environment cannot be left out of the plan as it can consume a large amount of both time and resources.  Therefore this deliverable is essential.
